Do I look like a loser? Do I stand in your way? A threat to your future You planned yesterday Well, I fought for my freedom Some called it a crime Convicted of running On rock and roll time Chorus: I said rock and roll time Please take me away To the whiskey and wine Of some better day And if sometimes it seems I'm falling behind Remember I'm running On rock and roll time I'm judged in your airports Each time that I fly I've been locked in your jailhouse Oh, but I'm getting by Just hoping that heaven Is happy and high And everyone's running On rock and roll time Chorus: I said rock and roll time Please take me away To the whiskey and wine Of some better day And if sometimes it seems I'm falling behind Remember I'm running On rock and roll time
